Chapter Vol. 2 Ch. 133
After some thought, the girl in the golden robe brought up an example.@@@@
“Miss Violet, have you heard of demon summoning? It’s somewhat similar to this. Demons, as creatures from another dimension, cannot traverse spatial barriers to come to our side. Even if someone actively summons them through offerings or opens gates, it can only assist in bringing weaker demons into the mortal realm.”
“While I don’t know the true strength, identity, or location of the ‘Councilors,’ their situation should be similar. They are too powerful, so they can’t come over, and the world won’t easily allow their descent.”
“Oh...”
If that’s the case, it makes sense.
After all, even ‘Representatives’ like Rebecca are superhuman entities. The true ‘Councilors’ are likely to be at least above the level of pseudo-gods, perhaps even higher.
In terms of levels, that would be level 70 or above.
In this world, apart from some mythical creatures, under normal circumstances, it seems impossible for beings to break through the pinnacle of transcendence and reach the level of pseudo-gods. Creatures like the vampire princess Lucine Constantius, restricted by the limitations of their species, are firmly confined within this range.
At this moment, Violet suddenly realized a blind spot.
“Wait a minute, where did Ben get this token? He should only be at the level of Mithril, how could he be chosen as a ‘Representative’?”
It seemed that Edith had already considered this question and immediately answered with a speculative tone.
“I think it was that girl named Rebecca who gave her token to Ben. As mentioned earlier, the Twilight Council is actually a relatively loose organization, and the identity of ‘Representative’ is more like a form of recognition or reward. Perhaps it was a letter of recommendation to gain that guy’s trust.”
“Hmm...”
Violet nodded, seemingly understanding.
If that’s the case, it does make sense. However, even though Edith casually downplayed it, the serious expression she had when she first saw the token made the priestess somewhat concerned.
The Twilight Council is definitely not a harmless organization.
Additionally...
“There’s one more thing. Do you know what it means to have the green snake pattern on oneself?”
“Hmm?”
The girl in the golden robe, putting down the wooden cup she had just taken a sip from, surprisedly looked up.
“Miss Violet, have you encountered such people?”
“Not exactly encountered, but I have heard through some channels. Are they also ‘Representatives’?”
“No.”
The Miss Guardian denied without hesitation.
“If someone has the totem of the ‘Serpent of Devouring Realms’ on their body, they can only be worshippers of it in our world. They are a separate group from the Twilight Council, but they are parallel, with little overlap. Moreover, they are even more loosely organized and usually act spontaneously as individuals.”
“These people are generally members of cults, undead mages interested in the bizarre, alchemists, magic addicts, blasphemers, and similar groups. Their characters are more or less problematic.”
“Or in other words, individuals who worship and have a connection with the ‘Serpent of Devouring Realms,’ are mostly holding malicious intentions towards this world, expecting the arrival of destruction or so-called reshaping. If Miss Violet encounters them, you can deal with them without hesitation.”
“Well... I’ll try my best.”
She said this out loud, but in reality, Violet didn’t categorize them directly as enemies.
Facing her mistress’s inquiry, the dragon lady naturally spoke the truth.
“The little blue dragon gave it to me. She said it was to thank Master for her kindness. And this thing was originally obtained by the ‘Eternal Throne’ specifically to neutralize the unstable resentment and chilliness in her body. Now it’s no longer needed.”
The 【Heart of the Red Dragon】 was originally on Rebecca?
It made sense. No matter how you looked at it, she was the second throne in the organization, just below the ‘Eternal Mage.’ Although her qualifications and time in the higher ranks were short, it was normal for the ‘Eternal Throne’ to obtain such a treasure to win over Rebecca.
“Master, Alexia asked me to tell you that after she turned into a vengeful spirit, she must periodically consume new soul power indirectly. Otherwise, she won’t be able to maintain stability and will turn into a berserk vengeful spirit.”
“With her transcendent strength, if such a thing happens, it will cause a terrifying catastrophe wherever she is.”
“As a semi-vengeful spirit, it’s extremely, extremely difficult for her to die completely. If she commits suicide directly, it will only result in similar consequences.”
The little dragon girl continued to convey the message from another dragon lady.
“Moreover, if she suffers injuries or depletes her power, these impulses and needs become even more intense. So Alexia has always been trying to avoid battles with strong opponents to reduce the intake of souls. However, accidents always happen.”
“The ‘Heart of the Red Dragon’ is also something she obtained to suppress this situation, but the effect is not very ideal.”
Alexia said that she is telling you all this not to excuse her past actions. The nightmare, the curse, and the killings that she had to carry out have constantly condemned her as a human conscience. She is very grateful for the redemption you brought.
“That’s probably all...”
Honestly sharing the necessary information, the dragon lady closed her mouth obediently, not disturbing the priestess’s thoughts.
Although Xiao Guang didn’t value the lives of ordinary humans and lacked empathy for Rebecca’s self-blame and guilt, she knew that her master did care.
“Is that so...”
It truly was a curse of being unable to survive and unable to die.
The so-called “power and evolution” had twisted into a distorted form of immortality.
After triggering the Redemption of Life, the “Balance of Life and Death” would release Rebecca from the shackles of so-called “eternal life,” returning her to a pure living being. Like a normal creature, she would return to the cycle of life. The resentment had already been burned to ashes in her final strike when sacrificing her life.
Although losing the boost of resentment would certainly weaken her to some extent, Rebecca also gained the possibility of growth. With time, she might reach new heights.
So, there might no longer be a need for the “Heart of the Red Dragon.”
Given the current situation, there’s not much more to be said.
If placed in the same position as Rebecca, Violet admitted to herself that she wouldn’t be able to handle it any better.
No wonder Rebecca chose the battlefield ten thousand meters above the ground. No wonder she waited for someone capable of completely killing the Twin Dragon Princess to appear. Because once a transcendent being loses control and goes berserk, it’s entirely possible to cause the deaths of millions if left unchecked.
Rebecca could be seen as sealing a giant bomb within her own body, ready to explode at any moment.
Although she had killed many people, what else could Rebecca do? Ending her own life might be an easier way out, but facing the guilt and continuing to live required even more courage.
It’s surprising that the “Balance of Life and Death” could even determine such things. It seemed like a rule similar to causality.
After sealing the “Heart of the Red Dragon” in a clearly custom-made box and placing it in the inventory, Violet understood that now was not the best time to carefully study the item.
“Let’s go, back to the inn for now.”
“Oh, okay, Master.”
